New simple tube mod...

This isn't anything special. Just thought it up, and figured it would work great for the people who hand mod a set of axle shafts to fit a berg, but want to keep the shaft centered.

Smart idea. Did you just loctite it in place?

The case will hold it in place once bolted together. Good idea Chris.

Holy crap. How much weight did you just add!!


Just kidding. Cool Mod.

I cant remember, is there a seat for the backside (toward the knuckle). That was what I was referring to...

This mod places a bearing on the case side of the tube to center the shaft into the locker. A new bearing pocket would have to be milled in for best safety to keeping the bearing in.

On the other side, knuckle side, there is a built in pocket bearing stop for when you install a bearing. Even if you do the Axial AX-10 C-hub mod you can include the outer tube bearing if you wish.

I just ran in a #X drill bit on the lathe, just deep enough for the bearing to fit. The locker keeps it from going in on the other side. The hole going through the tube all the way is like 7mm. The OD of this bearing is 10mm. So it needs to be bored out to fit the bearing

Ahh....ok. I drilled out my stock tubes a long time ago....
